Leaf & Beam

Bright and modern with a bohemian twist, this home keeps its finger on the pulse of Málaga from where it’s situated in the Soho neighbourhood. And stepping into this home, you can definitely see how the fashionable district is echoed in the space – it’s effortless in combining natural materials like marble and wood with patterned tiles, tied together by the otherwise neutral colour palette.

Sleep comfortably under the dark wooden beams exposed above and wake up to the aroma of coffee brewing. Go sit out on the terrace to take the first sip in the fresh Andalusian air. The kitchen is better suited to lighter bites, so why not head out to one of the local cafes for breakfast before exploring the beautiful city on your doorstep?

Sundrenched days can be spent at Malagueta beach when you’re not sitting out on the terrace with tapas and wine, or dining at the quirky, mismatched dining table. The latter is actually one of our favourite features here and we especially like the statement light fixture that sits right above it.
